A woman is calling for accountability
after she says Virginia police officers hit her head-on while she was stopped
at a traffic light, even though she wasn't the suspect they were looking for.
In a video posted to Instagram on
Saturday, Jamee Kimble can be heard berating officers with the Fairfax County
Police Department after a police vehicle hit the silver sedan she, her two
children and another adult had been traveling in.
"I'm sitting at the light,
and he comes and hits me from the front!" Kimble yells in the video.
"They stopped the wrong person."
Kimble, who said she was on her
way to Walmart to buy food for her kids, said in her social media post that the
incident occurred just six days after she delivered her youngest child via
C-section.
Officers drew their guns on her
and handcuffed her, Kimble said, before releasing her and offering medical
treatment.
Kimble can be heard in the video
telling police that she couldn't be the suspect they were looking for because
she had been in the hospital giving birth at the time of the earlier incident.
The department said it has opened
an administrative review of the stop.
Speaking in an interview with
News4 Washington, Kimble said she was shocked by the incident and wanted the
police to apologize.
"I still am very angry and,
more than anything, hurt because I teach my children that the police are
supposed to protect us, and that if they need anything they can call them for
help," she said.
